1209 tonight with a female at 12' that looks like it might be peetering out from the heat last week or the the crazy weather variations, temperature fluctuations, flooding rains, loss of some nutrients from the rains, lower P level...who knows. but this was why i brought out the 3-18-18 to mix in with demand cs when i sprayed. i will throw some in the drench too tomorrow morning too. nothing heavy with the ferts, half strength but total coverage under and over leaves as the svb and cukes should be arriving soon too. i looked at the split at 7' on the main very closely tonight again and will decide to leave things alone. it actually looks like an animal bite more than a split about one inch long and a 16th wide of an inch running with the main and a piece of curled up top green skin to the side of the wound like something was scraping its teeth along the main and stripping off a little at a time. it is uneven also and definately not a straight split. its new to me but i put captan on it and have a little table over it i set up after this picture was taken to keep dry. we will see what happens, but i would like to get more plant between that point and my pumpkin and think more on the lines of 16 feet or plus with this plant for that reason. if i wait until 20' then i will have 13' of established plant after the wound and i know from last year a wounded vine if treated right hurts a little i am sure, but not a destroyer. so i will still be getting the majority of the juices. the 1493 was grown on a main that had holes big enough i could reach my fingers into to treat them last year. still sort of sucks still cuz this plant is one of the nicest easiest plants i have ever grown....it just hit me...with all the rains this could be slug damage on the main. probably ate so much then died from the merit. this makes the most sense.
